On the 4th floor of the Yamasa II building, we have constructed a purpose built infirmary for our students. Also, please note that Yamasa's campus is located next to Minami (South) Hospital - in fact the doors of the hospital and those of the main Yamasa II building are less than 200 meters apart, and we occasionally have confused looking patients wander into our lobby asking for a doctor!

The infirmary provides a quiet and comfortable room where you can rest if you are feeling tired or ill, but don't need to go to a hospital. The main advantage of having such a room is that it saves you time. You do not need to return to your accommodation in order to rest. This room is particularly beneficial for students living in homestays or commuting. Many students find that they are able to return to classes after an hour or two, whereas without the infirmary they would miss the rest of the day.

The infirmary is similar in many ways to a hotel room or apartment. Inside the room there is a tatami mat area with a sofa bed. There are futons available to keep warm if you have a fever. There is a shower and washbasin area that you can use to freshen up if necessary. There is also a toilet so that you do not need to leave the infirmary and have full privacy.

Student Services staff will check regularly to see whether you need any medical attention (there is an internal phone available). Staff are easily contacted for assistance and will help you obtain medical treatment at Minami Hospital or assist you back to your accommodation if required.
